After we picked up Adam we headed out for some yummy mexican food and then back to my house. We looked at lots of pictures and chatted the night away. We were all exhausted so we went to bed pretty early. The next day we played games and hung out until late afternoon then most everyone headed to my parents house to get things ready for the weekend.
Our family arrived friday evening and my brother and his family arrived late thursday night.
We played lots of games and went to work getting things ready.
We had lots to do over the weekend including family pictures! They were pretty painless and we got a few good shots. Here is my siblings and I.
And here is the whole gang! Although this picture is already out of date since myself and Carrie are expecting!
My mom also wanted to do an Easter egg hunt since this was the first time all the Reed cousins have ever all been together! There are 8 cute grandkids now and here they are sitting around grandma getting instructions.
Bri was a little more engaged in this hunt and she wanted to open every egg as she went. She was so excited!
Here's all the cute kiddos! It was so fun to have several days to get to play with cousins and for the most part they all played really well.
My brothers played several games of FIFA soccer xbox and thought that was pretty great. Late Saturday night after my mom's famous spaghetti dinner we had a small (ok, giant) bonfire!
And here's a few of the kids playing. Grandma has such fun toys and games the kids were never bored and there was always a constant mess to clean up!
On Sunday my parents hosted a BBQ with about 60 people there. It was so nice to see friends and family and get caught up. Adam gave a wonderful talk and many people came to support him.
It was an exhausting and wonderful weekend. I'm so glad me and my siblings are so close and try to keep in touch. Many miles separate all of us but we are always there for the big stuff. It was great to be all together again despite the lack of sleep and craziness of all the kids. I sure love my family!!!
